I recently purchased a set of the SC wheels and wanted to see if anyone with the SC wheels are running 245/55-18's? If so could you please post some pics.

thanks,
Splat

like he said the SC runs 225/55 as stock.
I think you would have a tight fit on the rim with the 245 because the rims are only 7 inchs wide.

I have some pictures of 235 on the SC rims in the threads.

I have some 255s on a 7.5 wheel and that is only around 12.5mm wider than the stock 7.0 SC Wheels and my tires are 10.0mm wider than the 245. Mine does have a slight balooning effect so I would imagine you would have the same with a 245 on a 7.0 as I have with my 255s on a 7.5

MTP,
I saw your picture and they look nice, but I wanted to fill up the wheel well gap a bit more. Can you post a side shot of your car with a bit higher res?

thanks,
